The receiver collects and stores liquid refrigerant. The

receiver is fitted with upper and lower liquid level sight
glasses to enable determining refrigerant liquid level.
The receiver is also fitted with a fusible plug which
protects the system from unsafe high pressure
conditions. The liquid line solenoid valve closes when
system is shut down to prevent flooding of coils with
liquid refrigerant. The service valves enable isolation of
the filter-drier for service. The ambient temperature

sensor measures ambient temperature and sends an

electrical signal to the controller.
The discharge check valve is a spring loaded, normally
closed valve that opens with the flow of refrigerant from
the compressor. When the compressor clutch is
disengaged, the discharge check valve will close,
preventing the flow of high pressure liquid from the
condenser back into the compressor.

In the cooling mode the compressor is energized while

the evaporator and condenser fans are operated to
provide refrigeration as required. The compressor is
fitted with cylinder unloaders to match compressor
capacity to the bus requirements. Once interior
temperature reaches the desired set point, the system
may operate in the clutch cycle or reheat mode. A
controller programmed for clutch cycle will
de--energize the compressor clutch and allow the system
to operate in the vent mode until further cooling is
required. A controller programmed for reheat will
maintain compressor operation and open the heat valve
to allow reheating of the return air. In the reheat mode
interior temperature is maintained at the desired set
point while additional dehumidification takes place.

Low Pressure Switch (LPS)

The low pressure switch is installed in the compressor
and opens on a pressure drop to shut down the system
when a low pressure condition occurs. In addition, if the
control monitors a pressure less than 10 psig (0.68
bar)by the suction pressure transducer mounted in the
evaporator section, the system will be shut down for at
least one minute.
The compressor raises the pressure and the temperature

of the refrigerant and forces it into the condenser tubes.
The condenser fan circulates surrounding air (which is
at a temperature lower than the refrigerant) over the
outside of the condenser tubes. Heat transfer is
established from the refrigerant (inside the tubes) to the
condenser air (flowing over the tubes). The condenser
tubes have fins designed to improve the transfer of heat
from the refrigerant gas to the air; this removal of heat
causes the refrigerant to liquefy, thus liquid refrigerant
leaves the condenser and flows to the receiver.
b. Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The Relay Board is protected against high current by an

OEM supplied 150 amp fuse. Independent 15 amp
circuit breakers protect each motor while the output
circuits are protected by an additional 15 amp circuit
breaker. During a high current condition, the breaker (or
OEM fuse) may open. When power is removed from a
device, a breaker alarm will be generated.
The receiver serves as a liquid refrigerant reservoir so

that a constant supply of liquid is available to the
evaporators as needed, and acts as a storage space when
pumping down the system. The receiver is equipped
with sight glasses to observe the refrigerant for
restricted flow and correct charge level.
c. Ambient Lockout
The refrigerant leaves the receiver and passes through

the receiver outlet/service valve, through a filter-drier
where an absorbent keeps the refrigerant clean and dry.
The ambient temperature sensor located in the

condenser section measures the condenser inlet air
temperature. When the temperature is below the cut out
set point the compressor is locked out until the
temperature rises above the cut in setting. The set points
may be programmed to cut out at 45F 7.2C) and cut in
at 50F 10C) or cut out at 25 F --3.9C) and cut in at
45F 7.2C) in accordance with bus purchase
specification. This setting protects the compressor from
damage caused by operation at low pressures.
From the filter-drier, the liquid refrigerant then flows

through the liquid line solenoid valve to the
thermostatic expansion valve. the thermal expansion
valve reduce pressure and temperature of the liquid and
meters the flow of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator to
obtain maximum use of the evaporator heat transfer
surface.
The low pressure, low temperature liquid that flows into
the evaporator tubes is colder than the air that is
circulated over the evaporator tubes by the evaporator
fans (fans). Heat transfer is established from the
evaporator air (flowing over the tubes) to the refrigerant
(flowing inside the tubes). The evaporator tubes have
aluminum fins to increase heat transfer from the air to
the refrigerant; therefore the cooler air is circulated to
the interior of the bus. Liquid line solenoid valve closes
during shutdown to prevent refrigerant flow.
1.7 AIR FLOW
The paths for ambient air through the condenser and

coach air through the evaporator are illustrated in
Figure 1-5.
1.8 AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERATION
CYCLE
When air conditioning (cooling) is selected by the

controller, the unit operates as a vapor compression
system using R-134a as a refrigerant (see Figure 1-6).
The main components of the system are the
reciprocating compressor, air-cooled condenser coils,
receiver, filter-drier, thermostatic expansion valve,
liquid line solenoid valve and evaporator coils.
The transfer of heat from the air to the low temperature

liquid refrigerant in the evaporator causes the liquid to
vaporize. This low temperature, low pressure vapor
passes through the suction line and returns to the
compressor where the cycle repeats.

Self-test of the main Logic Board electrical circuit is

automatically initiated when the system is powered up.
If there is an error in the circuit, an alarm will be
indicated by flashing LEDs on the Logic Board. If a
Micromate is connected to the Logic Board, the error
code can also be read on the display. If there are no errors
in the circuit, system will operate normally and flash the
status LED at a one second interval. During normal
operation, the Logic Board monitors system operating
parameters for out of tolerance conditions. If an out of
tolerance condition occurs, ALARM will be indicated
through the code LED or on the Micromate display.

2.3 MODES OF OPERATION
2.3.4 Boost Pump
The system is operated by a Carrier Transicold

Micromax microprocessor controller which consists of
a logic board (Figure 1-10), relay board (Figure 1-8 or
Figure 1-9), and manual operator switches. The logic
board regulates operational cycles of the system by
energizing or de--energizing Relay Board relays in
response to deviations in interior temperature. Modes of
operation include Cooling, Heat and Vent. Refer
toFigure 2-1 and the following paragraphs for a
description of each mode.
Figure 2-1 shows the Logic Board actions at various
temperature deviations from setpoint. On rising
temperature, changes occur when the temperature rises
above Logic Board setpoints, On falling temperature,
changes occur when temperatures falls below Logic
Board set point. The system will operate in these modes
unless pressures override the Logic Board settings.
2.3.1 Temperature Control
Temperature is controlled by maintaining the return air

temperature measured at the return air grille.
2.3.2 Cooling Mode
Cooling is accomplished by energizing the compressor

and condenser fans, opening the liquid line solenoid
valve and closing the heating valve. Once interior
temperature reaches the desired set point, the system
may operate in the clutch cycle or reheat mode.
Selection of clutch cycle or reheat is factory
programmed in accordance with the bus purchase
specification.
A controller programmed for clutch cycle will
de--energize the compressor clutch and allow the system
to operate in the vent mode until further cooling is
required.
A controller programmed for reheat will maintain
compressor operation and cycle the heat valve to allow
reheating of the return air. In the reheat mode interior
temperature is maintained at the desired set point while
additional dehumidification takes place.
When the unit is in heat the boost pump relay is

energized, providing 24 VDC to activate the boost
pump.
2.3.5 Vent Mode
In the vent mode the evaporator fans are operated to

circulate air in the bus interior.
2.3.6 Fresh Air System
The fresh air damper is opened to allow entrance of

ambient air into the air entering the evaporator coil. The
damper is operated by the controller to open when return
air temperature is within +/--5F (+/--2.8C) of set point.
2.3.7 Compressor Unloader Control
When operating in cooling, the unloaders are used to

reduce system capacity as return air temperature
approaches set point. Operation of the unloaders
balances system capacity with the load and thereby
prevents overshoot from set point.
Relay Board mounted unloader outputs control the
capacity of the compressor by energizing or
de-energizing unloader solenoid valves. The model
05K (GR45) has two banks of two cylinders each while
the model 05G compressor (GR60) has three banks of
two cylinders each. Energizing a valve de-activates a
bank of cylinders. The 05K right cylinder bank (looking
at the pump end) and the outboard cylinder banks of the
05G are equipped with unloader valves (UV1 and, for
the 05G, UV2), each controlling two cylinders; this
allows the 05K to be operated with two or four cylinders
and the 05G to be operated with two, four or six
cylinders.
Whenever the compressor is started, the unloaders are
energized for thirty seconds to reduce starting torque.
After thirty seconds, unloaders may be de-energized.
Any subsequent changes between energizing and
de-energizing the unloaders for temperature control
must be staged with a thirty second delay. Once an
unloader is energized for pressure control, it remains
energized for two seconds to prevent short cycling.
Only one unloader may change state at a time when
staging is required. Operating parameters for
temperature control, suction pressure control and
discharge pressure control are as follows.
a. Temperature Control
2.3.3 Heating Mode
In the heat mode the liquid line solenoid is closed and

the compressor and condenser fans are shut down. The
heat valve is opened to allow a flow of engine coolant
through the heat section of the evaporator coil. The
evaporator fans speed is varied as required to circulate
air over the evaporator coil based on the temperature
difference from setpoint.
Heating will not start until the water temperature switch
(WTS) closes. The WTS is located on the block of the
vehicle and is provided by the OEM. It senses the engine
coolant temperature and closes on temperature rise at
105F . The switch prevents the circulation of cooler air
throughout the vehicle as the engine comes up to
temperature.
2-3
The unloaders are used to control system capacity by

controlling compressor capacity.
1 Compressor Unloader UV1 Relay. When return air
temperature falls to less than 2F (1.1C) above set
point unloader UV1 is energized. If temperature
rises to greater than 3F (1.7C) above set point,
UV--1 will be de--energized to place the compressor
at 100% capacity.
2 Compressor Unloader UV2 Relay. When return air
temperature falls to less than 1F (0.6C) above set
point unloader UV2 is energized. If temperature
rises to greater than 2F (1.1C) above set point,
UV--2 will be de--energized to place the compressor
(GR60 only) at 66% capacity.
b. Suction Pressure
T--295
The unloaders are used to control suction pressure and

thereby prevent coil frosting:
1 Compressor Unloader UV1 Relay. When the suction
pressure decreases below 26 psig (1.77 bar), unloader UV1 is energized unloading a cylinder bank (two
cylinders); this output will remain energized until
the pressure increases to above 34 psig (2.31 bar).
2 Compressor Unloader UV2 Relay. When suction
pressure decreases below 23 psig (1.56 bar) [on a
GR60], unloader UV2 is energized unloading the
second compressor cylinder bank; this output will
remain energized until the pressure increases to
above 31 psig (2.11 bar).
c. Discharge Pressure
Discharge pressure is also controlled by the unloaders:

1 Compressor Unloader UV1 Relay. When the discharge pressure increases above 275 psig (18.71
bar), unloader UV1 is energized; this output will remain energized until the pressure decreases below
220 psig (14.97 bar). Staging is ignored during discharge pressure override.
2 Compressor Unloader UV2 Relay. When the discharge pressure increases above 285 psig (19.39
bar),unloader UV2 is energized; this output will remain energized until the pressure decreases below
225 psig(15.31 bar).
2.3.8 Evaporator Fan Speed Selection
Temperature control is the primary method of

determining the fan speed selection. The following
table indicates relay operational status for the various
fan motor states while Figure 2-1 provides Logic Board
speed selections at various deviations form set point..

2.3.10 Compressor Clutch Control
A belt driven electric clutch is employed to transmit

engine power to the air conditioning compressor.
De-energizing the clutch electric coil disengages the
clutch and removes power from the compressor. The
clutch will be engaged when in cooling and disengaged
when the system is off, in heating or during high and low
pressure conditions.
The clutch coil is prevented from engagement when the
ambient temperature is below 45F (7.2C).
The clutch coil will be de-energized if the discharge
pressure rises to the 300 psig (20.41 bar) cutout setting
of the compressor mounted high pressure switch. The
clutch coil will energize when the discharge pressure
falls to 200 psig (13.61 bar).
The clutch coil will be de-energized if the suction
pressure decreases below 10 psig (0.68 bar).
2.3.11 Alarm Description
Alarm descriptions and troubleshooting procedures are

provided in section 3.
2.3.12 Hour Meters
Hour meter readings are available in the parameter code

list of the Micromate. The hour meters record the
compressor run time and the total time the evaporator
fans are on. The maximum hours is 999,999. Refer to
paragraph 2.4.3 for instructions on reading parameter
codes.
2.4
MICROPROCESSOR DIAGNOSTICS
The Micromate allows the user to interface with the

microprocessor based control. This allows system
parameters, alarms and settings to be viewed and
modified. On systems with OEM supplied operating
switches, a Micromate may be connected as a service

Connect the Micromate harness to the service port

located in the return air section of the A/C system. When
the Micromate is connected, the panel lights will be
energized and the currently stored setpoint will be
displayed. If any alarm is active, the reading will be
A##, where A indicates that the alarm is active and ##
indicates the alarm number.
2.4.2 Control
2.4.4 System Parameters
Pressing the up/down arrow keys will allow the user to

scroll up or down through the parameters. If no key is
pressed for 30 seconds this mode is exited and the
display will revert back to the default display. Pressing
the on/off key any time will exit this mode and the
display will again indicate the default. The parameters
are shown in Table 2-3. When scrolling through the
parameters, the current parameter will be displayed for
two seconds. After two seconds, the display will show
the data for the current parameter. When the last
parameter is reached, the list will wrap back to P1.

3.2 SYSTEM ALARMS
3.2.2 Activation
When alarms are detected, they are placed in an alarm

queue in the order at which they initiated unless the
alarm is already present. Each alarm recorded will also
capture an evaporator hour meter reading corresponding
to the activation time. If the AUTO key is pressed while
an alarm is displayed, the activation time capture will be
shown.
3.2.1 Alarm Codes
The Micromax Logic Board continuously monitors

system parameters and will generate an ALARM if a
parameter exceeds preset limits. Alarms are indicated
and the controller will respond in accordance with the
information provided in Table 3-2. The alarm codes can
be read by counting the number of times that the Logic
Board CODE LED (see Figure 1-10) flashes. Each
alarm code is a two digit number, the first set of flashes
is the first digit and (after a slight pause) the second set
of flashes is the second digit. The Micromate display
will indicate alarms with the code A-## or i--##, where
A is an active alarm prefix, i is an inactive alarm
prefix and ## is the error number. If multiple alarms are
present the user can scroll through each alarm by
pressing the ARROW keys. When the end of the alarm
list is reached the display will show ------. If the auto
key is held down for five seconds while ------ is
displayed all inactive alarms are cleared. A listing of
alarm codes is provided in Table 3-2.

3.2.3 Alarm Queue
The alarm queue consist of 10 alarm locations. When

the alarm queue is full the Logic Board will take the
required action but the alarm will not be recorded. When
this situation occurs, an Alarm Queue Fullalarm will
be generated. When the alarms are viewed this will be
the first alarm to be shown.

The suction and discharge service valves (Figure 4-2)

are provided with a double seat and a gauge port, which
allows servicing of the compressor and refrigerant lines.
Turning the valve stem counterclockwise (all the way
out) will backseat the valve to open the line to the
compressor and close off the gauge port. In normal
operation, the valve is backseated to allow full flow
through the valve. The valve should always be
backseated before removing the gauge port cap.

inlet valve. Wait 5 minutes to verify that system remains in a vacuum. If system pressure rises above
vacuum, open compressor suction service valve and
repeat steps c and d until system remains in vacuum.
e. Service or replace necessary components.
f. Leak check connections and replace filter--drier. Refer to paragraph 4.6.
g. Using refrigerant hoses designed for vacuum service,
evacuate and dehydrate the low side of the system by
connecting a vacuum pump to center connection of
manifold gauge set. Evacuate system to 500 microns.
Close off pump valve, isolate vacuum gauge and stop
pump. Wait 5 minutes to verify that vacuum holds.
h. Recharge low side to 20 to 30 psig (1.36 to 2.04 bar)
by admitting vapor from the refrigerant cylinder.
a. Remove the service valve stem caps and backseat

(counterclockwise) both valves. Remove the service
port caps.

To service an operable compressor, pump the refrigerant

into the condenser coil and receiver as follows:
a. Install manifold gauge set. Refer to Figure 4-5.
b. Frontseat the compressor suction service valve by
turning clockwise.
c. Place a jumper on the low pressure switch. Start the
unit and run in cooling until 10 /hg (25.4 cm/hg) of
vacuum is reached. Shut the system down.
d. Frontseat the compressor discharge service valve and
wait 5 minutes to verify vacuum is maintained. If the
pressure rises above vacuum, open the compressor
discharge service valve and repeat steps c and d until a
vacuum is maintained.
e. Service or replace components as required and leak
check the compressor.
f. Using refrigerant hoses designed for vacuum service,
connect a vacuum pump to center connection of manifold gauge set. Evacuate system to 500 microns.
g. Once vacuum is maintained, re--connect low pressure
switch, disconnect manifold gauge set and open compressor service valves.
h. Check refrigerant level. Refer to paragraph 4.8.1. It
may be necessary to clear any alarms that have been
generated.
j. Open service valves and check refrigerant level. Refer to paragraph 4.8.1.
4.5.2 Refrigerant Removal From An Inoperative
Compressor.
To remove the refrigerant from a compressor that is not

operational, do the following:
a. Attach a manifold gauge set as shown in Figure 4-5
and isolate the compressor by frontseating the suction
and discharge valves.
b. Recover refrigerant with a refrigerant reclaimer. If the
discharge service valve port is not accessible, it will
be necessary to recover refrigerant through the suction service valve port only.
c. Service or replace components as required and leak
check the compressor.
d. Using refrigerant hoses designed for vacuum service,
connect a vacuum pump to center connection of manifold gauge set. Evacuate system to 500 microns.
e. Once vacuum is maintained, recharge low side to 20
to 30 psig (1.36 to 2.04 bar) by admitting vapor from
the refrigerant cylinder. Disconnect manifold gauge
set and backseat compressor service valves.
4-3
T-295
c. Add sufficient nitrogen to raise system pressure to

150 to 200 psig (10.21 to 13.61 bar).
d. Check for leaks. The recommended procedure for
finding leaks in a system is with an electronic leak detector. Testing joints with soapsuds is satisfactory
only for locating large leaks.
e. Remove test gas and replace filter--drier.
f. Evacuate and dehydrate the system. (Refer to paragraph 4.7.)
g. Charge the unit. (Refer to paragraph 4.8.)

Figure 4-6. System Charge Removal Connections

4.5.4. Removing Entire System Charge
To remove the entire refrigerant charge, do the

following:
a. Connect a manifold gauge set to the system as shown
in Figure 4-6.
a. Evacuate and dehydrate only after pressure leak test.

(Refer to paragraph 4.6)
b. Essential tools to properly evacuate and dehydrate
any system include a good vacuum pump with a minimum of 5 cfm (8.5 m 3/hr) volume displacement,
(CTD P/N 07-00176-01), and a good vacuum indicator (available through Robinair Manufacturing,
Montpelier, Ohio, Part Number 14010).
c. Keep the ambient temperature above 60F (15.6C)
to speed evaporation of moisture. If ambient temperature is lower than 60F (15.6C), ice may form before
moisture removal is complete.
b. Connect a reclaimer to the center manifold gauge set

connection.
c. Recover refrigerant in accordance with reclaimer
manufacturers instructions.
4.6 REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECK
A refrigerant leak check should always be performed

after the system has been opened to replace or repair a
component.
4.7.3 Procedure for Evacuation and Dehydrating

System
To check for leaks in the refrigeration system, perform

the following procedure:
a. Remove refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery system. Refer to paragraph 4.5.4

b. The recommended method is connecting lines (3/8
OD copper tubing or refrigerant hoses designed for
vacuum service) as shown in Figure 4-6.
c. Make sure vacuum pump valve is open.
d. Start vacuum pump. Slowly open valves halfway and
then open vacuum gauge valve.
e. Evacuate unit until vacuum gauge indicates 1500 microns Hg vacuum. Close gauge valve, vacuum pump
valve, and stop vacuum pump.
f. Break the vacuum with clean dry refrigerant. Use refrigerant that the unit calls for. Raise system pressure
to approximately 2 psig (0.14 bar).
NOTE
It must be emphasized that only the correct refrigerant should be used to pressurize the system. Use of any other refrigerant will contaminate the system, and require additional
evacuation.
a. Ensure the liquid line service and solenoid valves are
open.
b. If system is without refrigerant, charge system with
refrigerant vapor to build up pressure between 20 to
30 psig (1.36 to 2.04 bar).
T-295

4.8.3 Adding Partial Charge
g. Remove refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery system.
a. Install manifold gauge set at the compressor suction

service valve and service port above the discharge
line check valve. See figure Figure 4-6.
b. Place appropriate refrigerant cylinder on scales. Prepare to charge vapor refrigerant by connecting charging hose from container to center connection on
gauge manifold . Purge air from hoses.
c. Run unit in cool mode for 15 minutes. With suction
service valve midseated open cylinder valve and add
vapor charge until refrigerant level appears in the
lower receiver sight glass. Under the above conditions, the system is properly charged when the refrigerant liquid level is at 1/2 to 3/4 of the lower receiver
sight glass. If it is not at the proper level, add or remove refrigerant to bring it to the proper level. Refrigerant level should not appear in the upper sight
glass, as this would indicate an overcharge.
d. Backseat suction service valve. Close vapor valve on
refrigerant drum and note weight. Remove manifold
gauge set and replace all valve caps.
h. Start vacuum pump and open all valves. Dehydrate

unit to 500 microns Hg vacuum.
i. Close off pump valve, and stop pump. Wait five minutes to see if vacuum holds.
j. Charge system. Refer to paragraph 4.8.2
4.8 ADDING REFRIGERANT TO SYSTEM
4.8.1 Checking Refrigerant Charge
The following conditions must be met to accurately

check the refrigerant charge.
a. Coach engine operating at high idle.
b. Unit operating in cool mode for 15 minutes.
c. Head pressure at least 150 psig (10.21 bar). (It may be
necessary to block condenser air flow to raise head
pressure.)
4.9 CHECKING FOR NONCONDENSIBLES
d. Under the above conditions, the system is properly

charged when the refrigerant liquid level is at 1/2 to
3/4 of the lower receiver sight glass. If it is not at the
proper level, add or remove refrigerant to bring it to
the proper level. Refrigerant level should not appear
in the upper sight glass, as this would indicate an
overcharge.
To check for noncondensibles, proceed as follows:

a. Stabilize system to equalize pressure between the
suction and discharge side of the system.
b. Check temperature at the condenser and receiver.
c. Check pressure at the compressor discharge service
valve.
d. Check saturation pressure as it corresponds to the
condenser/receiver temperature using the Temperature-Pressure Chart, Table 4-4.
e. If gauge reading is 3 psig (0.20 bar) or more than the
saturation pressure in step d, noncondensibles are
present.
f. Remove refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery system.
g. Evacuate and dehydrate the system. (Refer to paragraph 4.7.)
h. Charge the unit. (Refer to paragraph 4.8.2.)
4.8.2 Adding Full Charge

4.20.3 Compressor Oil Level
To check, and if required correct, the compressor oil

level do the following:
11
a. Operate the coach for at least one--half hour at fast

idle speed, with the temperature controls at the coolest setting, and the compressor fully loaded. It may be
necessary to pre--heat the coach and/or operate the
system in the reheat mode to keep the compressor fully loaded throughout this procedure
10
b. Ensure the system is fully charged (refer to paragraph

4.8.1) and the compressor crankcase is warm to the
touch after fifteen minutes of operation.

c. Shut off the system and immediately record the oil

level in the compressor sight glass. See Figure 4-17.
If the compressor is not level, an average between the
sight glass levels will have to be made to determine
level.
11
12
d. The proper oil level is between the marks on the compressor crankcase (05G compressors) or between 1/4
and 1/2 of the sight glass (05K compressors). Refer to
Figure 4-17. If the oil level is correct, release the
coach into service. If the level is above the required
amount, proceed to step e.. If the level is below the
required amount proceed to step f.

4.20.4 Checking Unloader Operation
To check unloader operation do the following:

a. Install a manifold gauge set as shown in Figure 4-6.
Ensure both manifold valves are frontseated and center connection is tight on blank fitting.
b. Midseat compressor suction service valve.
c. At the bus roof, disconnect the suction pressure transducer (8, Figure 1-6). This will force the controller to
f. To add oil to the compressor crankcase, do the following:

1. With the system off, connect a manifold gauge set to
the compressor suction and discharge service valves
(See Figure 4-5) and reclaim the refrigerant to below
atmospheric pressure. Shut off the reclaimer and
verify the pressure does not rise. If the pressure rises,
continue reclaiming until the pressure remains below atmospheric.
energize the unloader(s).
d. Start the bus and run in cooling lower set point if required to ensure system remains in full speed cooling.
e. Locate the unloader connector at the compressor. Observe manifold suction gauge while unplugging the

oil fill plug opening (see Figure 4-17) to bring level

connector. Pressure should decrease 3 to 5 psi (0.2 to

0.4 bar) when the unloader is unplugged and increase
the same amount as the plug is reconnected. repeat
test for second unloader if fitted.
c. At least one sensor lead must be disconnected from

the controller before any reading can be taken. Not
doing so will result in a false reading. Two preferred
methods of determining the actual test temperature at
the sensor are an ice bath at 32F (0C) and/or a calibrated digital temperature meter.
f. If pressures do not react as described, check unloader

coil or repair unloader mechanism as required.
4.22 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER CHECKOUT
g. When testing is complete, reconnect transducer and

unloader connectors and remove manifold gauge set.
NOTE
System must be operating to check transducers.
h. Disconnection of the suction pressure transducer will

cause an A15 alarm. Once the transducer is reconnected, the alarm will go to inactive and can then be
cleared.
a. With the system running use the driver display or

manifold gauges to check suction and/or discharge
pressure(s).
b. Use a digital volt-ohmmeter measure voltage across
the transducer at terminals A & C. See Figure 4-18.
Compare to values in Table 4-2. A reading within two
percent of the values in the table would be considered
good.

e. Checkout replacement sensor or transducer. (Refer to
section 4.21 or 4.22, as applicable.)
f. Repair or replace any defective component(s), as required.
4.21 TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECKOUT
a. An accurate ohmmeter must be used to check resistance values shown in Table 4-1.
4.24 LOGIC BOARD CONFIGURATION
b. Due to variations and inaccuracies in ohmmeters,

thermometers or other test equipment, a reading
within two percent of the chart value would be considered accaptable. If a sensor is bad, the resistance
value would usually be much higher or lower than the
value given in Table 4-1 .
If a replacement Logic Board is installed, it is necessary

to match the configuration jumpers (see Figure 1-10) to
the original board. Table 4-3 provides a list of jumper
functions

5--1 INTRODUCTION
This section includes electrical wiring schematics. The schematic shown in this section provides information for all
unit models and optional configurations. For model GR45 units, which are fitted with four evaporator and condenser
fans, the components used to control the fifth and sixth fans are not energized. For applications with OEM supplied
operating switches, the switches are wired to Logic Board connector J3 as shown. For units with a Micromate as the
operators control, there is no wiring to the Logic Board J3 connector. The Micromate is hard wired to the Logic Board
connector J2 in the same manner as shown for service port use.
